Detailed Description
This gas strut is built to match the dimensional and connection requirements of the listed trunk applications. The Stabilus 5B-678079 uses plastic socket ends and a compact body size to support controlled opening and closing action on compatible Genesis and Hyundai trunk lids. It cross-references Bosch 7407 for the same application.
Fits 2017-2020 Genesis G80, N/A, Exc.Power Trunk Opening/Closing. Fits 2014-2016 Hyundai Genesis, N/A, Exc.Power Trunk Opening/Closing. These fitments make the 5B-678079 a direct replacement choice for drivers searching for a trunk gas strut for Genesis G80 or Hyundai Genesis models with manual trunk operation.
Common Replacement Reasons
- Trunk lid drops too quickly when opened
- Trunk support no longer holds the lid in position
- Weak or inconsistent lift assistance
- Reduced opening control in cold weather
- Original strut shows age-related loss of pressure
Installation Notes
Confirm the compressed length, extended length, force rating, and socket-style end fittings before installation. Verify that your vehicle is not equipped with power trunk opening/closing, since that configuration is excluded from the listed fitment. Compare the existing strut to the 5B-678079 to ensure the same mounting style and overall dimensions.
